How do I hook up my DTV converter box?

DTV converter box hook to VCR problem. help?

• ok, so i looked up videos and instructions on various websites on how to hookup the converter box to my VCR to record, and i followed the instructions but somethings wrong because there's always static in the background. i can see the picture and i can hear what they're saying but there's too much static. i tried changing channels, i tried channel 3, 4, and i tried the AUX channels and nothing seems to work. i even disconnected and reconnected everything. could someone please help me out. thanks.

• Answer:

  How are you selecting the channel you want to watch? You can't select the channel with the VCR when you're using a converter box. You select the channel with the converter box. Set the VCR to channel 3 or 4, which ever channel the converter box is sending the signal out on. Set your VCR to 3 and if it doesn't work try 4. Then select the channel with the converter box. You should get a good, clear signal. You will need an antenna for the converter box. Some people seem to think an antenna isn't needed with a converter box but this isn't true. You still need an antenna.
